Struggling with Nvidia - Kernel 5.6.13-1

[BlackCloud]

Tested Qubes and am extremely happy but I'm struggling with my dGPU which I'd rather not use with Nouveau due to the type of work I do - Dell Precision M6600, Intel GPU and Quadro K5000M dGPU + external 2160p monitor via Displayport.

Found this thread and followed the instructions towards the bottom - https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/4610

Blacklisting Nouveau results in the laptop display working off of the Intel GPU only, no monitor and the Nvidia listed in lscpi -v with no driver.

Unless I've misunderstood, the above thread suggests to me that the 5.6.x kernel 'includes Nvidia' so I'm interpreting that as it has native Nvidia support. I've also done a Fedora update.

If anyone can give me any pointers please it would be appreciated.

If the kernel "includes Nvidia", then that would mean the nouveau
driver.

Nvidia's proprietary driver has to be installed after downloading it
from their website. It almost always is very difficult to get working
in a VM environment, as Nvidia don't support anything but simple
installation in the main OS.

There are numerous reports about problems with Nvidia and Qubes.

Best of luck,

Mike.
